Shopping
Strøget
Copenhagen's largest shopping area is centered around Strøget in the heart of the city.
Strøget is one of Europe's longest pedestrian streets with a wealth of shops, from budget-friendly chains to some of the world's most expensive brands.
The stretch is 1.1 kilometers long and runs from City Hall Square (Rådhuspladsen) to Kongens Nytorv.
Strøget is a nickname from the 1800s and covers the streets Frederiksberggade, Nygade, Vimmelskaftet and Østergade and Nytorv square, Gammeltorv Square and Amagertorv Square.
Georg Jensen Silver
More than 60 shops around the world bear the inconspicuous Danish name Georg Jensen. Georg Jensen himself (1866 - 1935), his co-workers and successors, have created jewellery and flatware so fantastic that they have become synonymous with Danish silver.
At the main shop in Amagertorv, on the Pedestrian Mall, one finds Georg Jensen brooches, earrings, necklaces, pendants, and rings. Silver flatware of the company's own design is also available.
When Georg Jensen died, The Times wrote in its obituary that his work will be the antiques of the future. This predicition has since proven true.
Georg Jensen is purveyor to the royal Danish court.
